Title: Selling download+reviews+ratings for money.
Post by: sujonali1819 on January 27, 2020, 06:55:25 PM
Few days ago I have seen a thread was created by ScamVirus about reviews selling.
here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5218834) and the person was tagged for such type of service.

Today another thread created by a newcomer. What do you think about it now? I think both are similar and deserve tag.

Selling review is a very specific theme, I can also look at it negatively. But, You can find paid reviews in many places.
What is any bounty campaign if not paid feedback and paid fake interest to project? Social media, contest, Reddit, blog... what we have here. Paid to post and spread the word on Twitter or Facebook is also "review selling" but we still have new campaigns opened every day. This is not just in the crypto world and bitcointalk forum, you can find paid "good words" in all niches.
I do not want to defend this user, I have no way of testing his service and I can't talk about them. But if we tag "paid review" in his case just because it's paid review, not based on the quality of his service, we must tag all bounty participants, Reddit upvote reseller, content writer etc...

It's just my opinion.

More likely it's his alt because the other one has negative tags in it. I think so too.

Well, let's not get out of the topic this is about Google Play and App Store giving fake reviews. The ToS of their service clearly don't tolerate such kind of act, it's totally fraud and what if the app contains malware or other things and the user downloaded it because of good reviews he just saw, were in fact fake reviews.

Maybe, maybe not. But I think both service are mostly similar with each other. So both should be punished. Though this is a newbie account. But I don't understand why any DT did not response yet.
